Whats a decent 931 worth?
A computer friend of mine that also lives in ohio seen a 924 turbo for sale locally. He went to check it out but no-one was home and no info on the car. I got the vin # and a picture. Ultimatly what i'm looking for is another car to do auto-x with. If i can get this one decently cheap i might pick it up.
Here is a pic he sent me:
The VIN on it is: WP0AA0938BN150552
He had also spotted a 928 for me, but they want to much for it methinks $7950.

what year? It's got crappy paint, I'm going to assume it has a ratty interior. If it has a good engine that isn't burning a whole lot of oil, a good tranny that has no crappy syncro's I'd say about $1.5-$2k.

I'm actually looking for one. However, My price rang is only $1000

Wes my estimate was just a rough ball park. You have very little information to work with so it makes it kind of hard to get a good price on it. Of course in the end it all comes down to what the seller will take. It can't hurt to make an offer.

Very true, I wanted to get a base estimate so I have something to work off of.

Ive heard horror stories of turbo rebuilds every 30k...
Any car can be reliable once "well sorted." Often times, it takes a bit of money, which Wes doesn't have, to get there.
Good luck.

Serge,
The $1000 is a inital cost of the car. Thats all I want to spend. I'm hoping I can find one (944-924) with a good running engine. The rest will come later.

Well i got an email back from my friend. He gave me the sellers info and his wife thinks he's asking $1500 for it. I'm going to give the guy a call and see what kind of negotiating I can do.

Sounds like a good plan to me I need another car to suck up all my money and time

I think the 931 is a hella cool car.
But, you could find a 944 or 924S in need of some luvin' for that money, and they would be more competitive in their respective auto-x classifications. Just my two cents.

Here's the most recent price guide from Excellence magazine for the 931.
Note, the prices in these Excellence tables always seem a bit high, but it gives a rough idea...

According to that table, this car is a collectible. Theyve appreciated 35-40% since 2000 if thats accurate (which I dont think it is).
